February 28 AGS and PTS Snapshot. Mark your calendars, on February 28th, 2014 the last BTC and PTS blocks found on that date will be used to calculate the initial balances of the BitShares XT chain which has the potential to become a fully viable non-test chain if it manages to survive SICDS (Sudden Instant Chain Death Syndrome) as a result of undiscovered bugs. In other words, BitShares XT is a full up dress rehearsal and its launch must be treated as any other official launch.

I also realized that if I buy a protoshare now I don't have to get rid of it to get my bitshare.

I buy one 1protoshare, then bitshare genesis happens so now i have 1 pts and 1 bitshare, whereas if i wait to *buy* a bitshare with protoshare I only end up with 1 bitshare in the end and no protoshare

Yes and don't forget that all PTS and AGS will not exist yet on Feb 28th so roughly ~1.5 million PTS will map to 2 million BTS and~0.6 million AGS will map to 2 million BTS.... much better than 1:1.

Then PTS and AGS keep on giving with every new BitShares DAC after that, dropping to about 1:1 only as we approach July...

Those who take the early adopter risk between now and then are thereby hansomely rewarded.
